small planter

Some artistry is require when making these small succu-scapes:


 I found this large milk glass compote at Savers the other day.  I planted these succulents that I got from Home Depot, and have been enjoying the look of the white on white on the white and blue tablecloth (since taking off the Christmas tablecloth last week).  This has led me to buy a few more milkglass objects on ebay last week:
I've seen several articles on making small scapes and terrariums lately.  I can remember when they were really popular in the '70's and '80's.  It's  nice to have some little pop of plants around the house.  If I get anymore in the kitchen window, we will have to make the kitchen larger!

I like the contrast of the dark foliage with the milk glass.. the blossoms are an extra. I really like our jade plants out in front. They are essentially slow growers and love reflected light.
